-.SH NAME
-pacman.conf \- pacman package manager configuration file
-
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-\fBpacman\fP, using \fBlibalpm\fP, will attempt to read \fBpacman.conf\fP each
-time it is invoked. This configuration file is divided into sections or
-\fIrepositories\fP. Each section defines a package repository that \fBpacman\fP
-can use when searching for packages in \fB--sync\fP mode. The exception to this
-is the \fIoptions\fP section, which defines global options.
-
-.SH EXAMPLE
-.RS
-.nf
-#
-# pacman.conf
-#
-[options]
-NoUpgrade = etc/passwd etc/group etc/shadow
-NoUpgrade = etc/fstab
-
-[current]
-Include = /etc/pacman.d/current
-
-[custom]
-Server = file:///home/pkgs
-.fi
-.RE
-
-.SH OPTIONS
-.TP
-.B DBPath = \fIpath/to/db/dir\fP
-Overrides the default location of the toplevel database directory. The default
-is \fIvar/lib/pacman\fP.
-.TP
-.B CacheDir = \fIpath/to/cache/dir\fP
-Overrides the default location of the package cache directory. The default is
-\fIvar/cache/pacman\fP.
-.TP
-.B HoldPkg = \fIpackage\fP ...
-If a user tries to \fB--remove\fP a package that's listed in \fBHoldPkg\fI,
-\fBpacman\fP will ask for confirmation before proceeding.
-.TP
-.B IgnorePkg = \fIpackage\fP ...
-Instructs \fBpacman\fP to ignore any upgrades for this package when performing a
-\fB--sysupgrade\fP.
-.TP
-.B Include = \fIpath\fP
-Include another config file. This file can include repositories or general
-configuration options.
-.TP
-.B XferCommand = \fI/path/to/command %u\fP
-If set, an external program will be used to download all remote files. All
-instances of \fB%u\fP will be replaced with the download URL. If present,
-instances of \fB%o\fP will be replaced with the local filename, plus a ".part"
-extension, which allows programs like wget to do file resumes properly.
-
-This option is useful for users who experience problems with built-in
-http/ftp support, or need the more advanced proxy support that comes with
-utilities like wget.
-.TP
-.B NoPassiveFtp
-Disables passive ftp connections when downloading packages. (aka Active Mode)
-.TP
-.B NoUpgrade = \fIfile\fP ...
-All files listed with a \fBNoUpgrade\fP directive will never be touched during
-a package install/upgrade. Do \fInot\fP include the leading slash when
-specifying files.
-.TP
-.B NoExtract = \fIfile\fP ...
-All files listed with a \fBNoExtract\fP directive will never be extracted from
-a package into the filesystem. This can be useful when you don't want part of a
-package to be installed. For example, if your httpd root uses an index.php,
-then you would not want the index.html file to be extracted from the
-\fBapache\fP package.
-.TP
-.B UseSyslog
-Log action messages through \fBsyslog()\fP. This will insert log entries into
-\fI/var/log/messages\fP or equivalent.
-.TP
-.B LogFile = \fI/path/to/file\fP
-Log actions directly to a file. Default is \fI/var/log/pacman.log\fP.
-.TP
-.B ShowSize
-Display the size of individual packages for \fB--sync\fP and \fB--query\fP
-modes.
-
-.SH REPOSITORY SECTIONS
-Each repository section defines a section name and at least one location where
-the packages can be found. The section name is defined by the string within
-square brackets (the two above are 'current' and 'custom'). Locations are
-defined with the \fBServer\fP directive and follow a URL naming structure. If
-you want to use a local directory, you can specify the full path with
-a 'file://' prefix, as shown above.
-
-The order of repositories in the file matters; repositories listed first will
-take precedence over those listed later in the file when packages in two
-repositories have identical names, regardless of version number.
-
-.SH USING YOUR OWN REPOSITORY
-If you have numerous custom packages of your own, it is often easier to
-generate your own custom local repository than install them all with the
-\fB--upgrade\fP option. All you need to do is generate a compressed package
-database in the directory with these packages so \fBpacman\fP can find it when
-run with \fB--refresh\fP.
-
-.RS
-.nf
-repo-add /home/pkgs/custom.db.tar.gz /home/pkgs/*.pkg.tar.gz
-.fi
-.RE
-
-The above command will generate a compressed database named
-\fI/home/pkgs/custom.db.tar.gz\fP. Note that the database must be of the form
-\fI{treename}.db.tar.gz\fP, where {treename} is the name of the section defined
-in the configuration file. That's it! Now configure your \fIcustom\fP section
-in the configuration file as shown in the config example above. Pacman will
-now use your package repository. If you add new packages to the repository,
-remember to re-generate the database and use \fBpacman\fP's --refresh option.
-
-For more information on the \fBrepo-add\fP command, use \fB repo-add --help\fP.
